Roee's list is only a start. I could go on and on, but again it's a waste of perfectly good time to discuss it for an RV9 so just trust these folks already. :D Cheers, stein |

Keep this bit of advice in mind whenever you think of deviating from the plans, "There is thousands of RV's flying in the stock configuration for a reason." While going down your own path is fun and has its own rewards, bushwhacking usually adds a lot of time and money to any project. |
Bill, thanks for your thoughtful and detailed response. Okay, you sold me. The toughest hurdle seems to be the flap motor (though, I suppose that is optional), servos and heated aoa probes seem tricky, too.
Regarding availability of reasonably-priced devices, just from supplier web sites: I see no real difference with regard to lights. Anyone starting a project today is going to use LED lights if they have any sense and those are pretty voltage agnostic. Battery is no big difference; two smaller batteries will do just as well, possibly better, and weigh the same. Little more money, I guess. Relays, heated pitot and pumps; no problem unless you want one from Vans. So a couple key items and the ability to use unanticipated, non-aviation type devices is the real difference. I predict the gap continues to narrow.... |
A/C Voltage
Why not just use A/C? Boeing likes it.
